Who is Doja Cat? The rise of the 'Say So' American rapper, singer and producer

US rapper and singer Doja Cat is currently climbing charts across the world with her breakthrough hit Say So.

Doja, as in...

Cannibis? Marijuana? Weed? Yes. It's the stage name of Los Angeles artist Amala Dlamini. The latter part of her full stage name, Doja Cat, is inspired by her love of - you guessed it - cats, "in every aspect" as she once said in an interview.

Not particularly radio friendly, then.

While her early work and debut album Amala was heavily inspired by weed culture, her second record Hot Pink, released last November, is a much more polished affair. The record's latest single Say So is slinky, disco-inspired pop inspired by Nicki Minaj, Erykah Badu and Drake that is shaping up to be her breakthrough hit - it's on course to enter the UK's Official Singles Chart Top 40 this week after a five-week climb up the Top 100.

Anything else I need to know?

Her music and fashion choices are heavily inspired by the '90s (she even has a song called Tia Tamera, Sister Sister fans). Despite being the source of many herself, her favourite meme is an oldie but a goodie - "it's an avocado... thaaanks!"
